The chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus fired off one more shot at CNBC on Tuesday following the Fox Business debate.

“That @CNBC is how you run a debate,” he tweeted. In a statement, Priebus further praised the Fox Business moderators for delivering a substantive debate.

“Debates need to focus on the issues, and that goal was accomplished tonight. Our candidates, not the moderators, were at the center of tonight’s debate, and they were all treated with fairness and respect.”

Priebus’ latest shot at CNBC comes after he and GOP pundits railed against the business network for unfair questions during the Oct. 28 debate.

Fox Business vowed to deliver the substantive economic debate CNBC didn’t and mostly achieved its goal.

There were very few questions unrelated to the economy and candidates seemed happy with the tone of the debate.
